Moustapha’s broad research interests include the security and safety of AI systems, and we spend some time discussing his work on adversarial examples and systems that are robust to adversarial attacks. More broadly, we discuss the role of bias in datasets, and explore his vision for models that can identify these biases and adjust the way they train themselves in order to avoid taking on those biases.

Enter Our #MyAI Contest!

In last week’s interviews, our AI in Consumer Electronics series, you heard from some great people who helped me explore some of the very cool ways that machine learning and AI are being used to enhance our everyday lives.

A few of these companies have provided us with products to give away, and we’re excited to launch the #MyAI contest. To enter, we want to hear from YOU, about the role AI is playing in your home and your personal life, your favorite example of home/personal AI, and/or where you see it all going. So, fire up your webcam or smartphone camera, and get ready to tell us your story!

We’ll post the videos to Youtube and the video with the most likes wins their choice of great prizes including an Anki Cozmo, a Lighthouse smart home camera, or a Google Home Mini! (First prize gets first pick, second prize gets second pick, etc.) Submissions will be open through Feb 18th, and voting will remain open through Feb 25th.
